Creative is where I use figurative language, lifting me from the fetters of my former life as a technical writer where I was bound by strict writing conventions and the authoritative voice.

Dead poets reveal sailing experience

Welcome to Becoming A Sailor. I've written more than 250 posts about our travels on our St Francis 50 catamaran. We have been sailing since 2015, and our four kids have grown up on our sailboat. This is not a sailing log. Instead, it's an immersive record of a life afloat. I write to recreate the moment, whether we're standing on a volcano or cleaning our boat bottom.
